Tony Parkes

Tony Parkes was on my original wish list to take over from JH before the club appointed (and as history has proved quite rightly) Sammy Mc. Unfortunately it looks as though he's been thanked for keeping Blackpool in the Championship by Chairman Karl Oyston not awarding him the managers position.

Contendors include the current Bury Manager Knill; former Oldham manager Andy Ritchie as well as a former Leicester manager Holloway. Gary Brabin the ex Southport and current Cambridge boss is also in the frame.

Karl Oyston some may recall, was prosecuted by his father Owen for using the family Ferrari without permission.

Could be wrong but i thought Blackpool were in the Championship.

No it's me....as usual!

I don't know what the bloke has to do to get a full time managers job he always does brilliantly when he takes charge of teams. Especially considering all the loan players that left Blackpool in January was it 8 or something daft.

Exactly.

I believe he offered his services to the club the day after JH had his sudden attack.

Really deserves a crack at being a F/T manager.
